Lifting Injuries

Improper lifting, lifting excessively heavy loads, and repeated lifting can lead to strain and tear injuries. These injuries are so common that many people do not even realize that their injury is related to job duties. If you experience back pain or a strain injury, consider contributing factors from your workplace, and call us to discuss the details.
